Groseth has been serving as interim chancellor at MSU Billings since July. Before
arriving in Billings, he was serving as vice president for inter-campus affairs at
Montana State University in Bozeman and was interim chancellor at MSU Northern in
Havre from January 2008 to August 2009. As the inter-campus affairs vice president,
Groseth worked to provide coordination among executive officers on the Bozeman, Billings,
Great Falls and Northern campuses of the MSU system, the Office of the Commissioner
of Higher Education and the Montana Board of Regents. He has worked as executive assistant
to the MSU President from 1994 to 2004 and has student affairs experience when he
worked at the University of Florida and Georgetown University.

Johnstone has been the academic leader at Winona State University since 2006. From
1989 to 2006, she was executive director of the Western Cooperative for Educational
Telecommunications (WCET) at the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education
(WICHE) in Boulder, Colo. She has experience with two-year and four-year institutions
and since joining the staff of Winona State University, she has facilitated the creation
of a four-university consortium to deliver doctoral programs in the field of nursing
practice (DNP) that is delivered on-line. While at WCET, she gained experience working
with the Office of the Commissioner of Higher Education and the Montana Legislature.

The next chancellor will be the successor to Dr. Ron Sexton, who retired in August.
Sexton served as chancellor since Eastern Montana College transformed into MSU Billings
under a statewide reorganization in 1994. He is now working on a new scholarship
campaign for the MSU Billings Foundation.

Montana State University President Dr. Waded Cruzado will also meet with each candidate
and weigh the recommendations from the search committee prior to making a final decision
and extending an offer.

Located in the state’s largest city, MSU Billings is a comprehensive regional university
with an enrollment of more than 5,300 students. It has more than 160 academic programs
in five colleges that provide certificate, two-year, four-year and master’s degree
education.
